Mir ror & Water images

Mirror Image: The image of an object, as seen in a mirror, is called its mirror reflection or mirror image.
In such an image, the right side of the object appears on the left side and vice - versa. A mirror- image is
therefore said to be laterally inverted and the phenomenon is called Lateral Inversion.
